Rolle Resources has built a new mall and Tulip Bookstore.
This shop has just been renovated, there are still some waste materials piled up at the door, and inside the door is a pile of cardboard boxes full of second-hand books, which looks a bit sloppy.
Because this second-hand bookstore has just moved in, there are not many valuable items in the store. As for valuable second-hand books, they are locked in the cabinet.
Therefore, Theodore, who had just left, did not expect that not long after he walked on his front feet, a red-eyed gray pigeon with its hind feet on the roof flew into the tulip bookstore, and cried twice. , became human.
And in the shadow under the pigeon's feet, a black figure also "embossed", and then it also changed into the appearance of a human.
The two men, one in a grey robe with a hood, with disheveled pale hair and a sullen face, held a short golden wolf-headed cane in his hand.
Another was wearing a tight black shirt, and his face was hidden in the darkness. His wrists and ankles were bandaged, and his hands were sharp metal finger cots. The daggers were lined up, and three black swords of different lengths were crossed and fixed behind the waist.
If there are people from the Truth Society here, they must be able to recognize that these two are extraordinary criminals and notorious mercenaries on the bounty list.
The former one, named Wallis, was a panic-level druid of the Sapir family with the wolf as the totem, and was good at summoning and polymorphism.
The latter is a notorious "Shadow Assassin" named Louis, who has assassinated a devastating killer and is extremely good at stealth.
Wallis looked at the cardboard boxes in the Tulip Bookstore, glanced at them, and said, "Not here, we seem to be late."
Louis didn't say a word, and walked silently to one of the open boxes, staring at the traces that had been rummaged.
Wallis also came over, raised his cane and waved, a light blue light appeared in his eyes, lowered his head, and said, "He went out with that book."
He followed the pale blue residual footprints extending from the cardboard box to the outside, and looked up to see the old bookstore across the road.
"Then... it seems to be a bookstore too?"
Wallis hesitated. He had vaguely heard rumors of an unnamed bookstore in this area, but there were not many, and there was no substantial news, and most of them were exaggerated and unbelievable.
But many people who coveted the target book were a little afraid of it and did not dare to start.
Moreover, the spy he placed in the family has heard some things about the witch of the Chapman family. It is said that she has such abilities because of the support of the bookstore.
This made him hesitate.
"Why don't we wait here, wait for the rabbit, wait until he comes out, and then grab him and torture him..."
As soon as Wallis made such an opinion, Louis next to him sneered: "Are you sure he will still have a book in his hand after he comes out?"
"This… "
Wallis frowned, thinking that you are going to go directly into that bookstore to grab it
In case that bookstore is really as rumored...
"You have no choice." Louis turned into a shadow again and merged into other shadows: "Don't forget, the task that the organization gave us is to get that book. If it is not completed, you know the consequences."
His voice was very indifferent and remained in the air: "In addition, you have disappointed me. You are completely the performance of the weak. The matter of letting you join the organization may be delayed."
Wallis wanted to say something, but saw that Louis had entered the bookstore.
As soon as he gritted his teeth, he hurriedly transformed into a dove again, and flew to the eaves of the bookstore, just in time to see the shadow of Louis, which quickly merged into the shadow between the bookshelves and lurked.
But then, the shadow suddenly seemed to boil over…
It was as if someone was struggling violently inside.
…
Inside the bookstore, Lin Jie was thinking.
"Since this notebook can appear in Nuojin's Xiacheng District, and it has come to my hands, it means that the owner of the notebook has indeed come into contact with another world. His research is not fake. The content of the notebook should be removed from the nonsense. True."
"Because of the preconceived notions and the ageing of the Azir culture, I have never thought about why an almost completely different world still uses Chinese characters and English as languages, and even the details and structure of the characters are the same as those on Earth. There is no difference."
"so… "
Lin Jie looked at the blood-stained notebook in his hand, and his eyes narrowed: "My subjective consciousness has actually been tampered with since I crossed?"
It's like opening the system settings and manually adjusting the language to "Chinese (Simplified)".
Refresh it, and directly "translate" a bunch of garbled characters into a language that you can understand.
And there is obviously only one who can easily accomplish such an extremely magical "feat" in the eyes of normal humans, and has been "assisting" the existence of Lin Jie...
little black
Lin Jie raised his eyebrows, raised his head subconsciously, crossed Theodore's shoulders, and saw in the middle of the bookshelf opposite, in the shadow of the narrow sloping gap, after a while of squirming, there was suddenly a dark and fuzzy shadow with only the upper body.
It was as if there was an invisible person standing there.
At this moment, the shadow nodded politely, then raised his hand and waved it left and right.
As if to say "you're welcome".
So that's it... Is this also a time-travel welfare
Lin Jie pondered for a while, and felt that he understood Xiao Hei's meaning, and his face softened a little.
It's also... If he can't understand the language after crossing over, his situation three years ago will be much worse than before, let alone selling books to make a living, even communicating with people will be a problem.
Although it is not like the owner of this note, because of the lack of users of the language itself as a communication sample, he repeatedly walked into a dead end, resulting in a complete misunderstanding, and he did not know what he was studying for a long time.
But at least it may take more than a year to communicate without hindrance.
He used to complain that Xiao Hei, the initiator, was killed or buried, and after fulfilling his wish, he was allowed to cross into this world and then disappeared, without even giving a description or goal that required a price.
This made Lin Jie once thought that the price of realizing his wish was "exile in another world".
Unexpectedly, the original "after-sales service" has already been given.
I'm the one who blamed you, little black!
And if you think about it again, the language between Earth and Azir is different, which means that the books he brought over should not be understood by his customers at all.
But in fact, they not only understood it, they even had a good time with Lin Jie.
This shows what
This shows that Xiao Hei not only adjusted Lin Jie's language system, but also adjusted the display text of his books, so that people from other worlds can understand them, and it is convenient for Lin Jie to sell books.
It's so meticulous...
Lin Jie was completely enlightened, and showed a knowing smile.
However, why do I always feel that Xiao Hei today seems to be a little fatter than before
